CUPE convention got no ink

I searched your paper in vain for any coverage of the biennial national convention of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), the largest union in the country with well over 600,000 members.

CUPE members gathered in Vancouver this past week to debate important issues and elect a new national president after Paul Moist, the leader since 2003, stepped down. Where was your coverage and analysis of the convention? Where were the profiles of the two contenders, Mark Hancock from B.C. and Fred Hahn of Ontario? Why was there no acknowledgement of the labour movement?

So much for your vaunted Atkinson principles and their references to “social justice” and “the rights of working people.”
